Thought I'd try and get my mojo on for BSS4.....FAIL!
Got to Cappell at 7:45, but being pretty much a noob it took an hour until I got the Outback set up for launching in a chilly 36 degrees.  Trolled for trout, cast plastics for bass, and soaked nightcrawlers for nary a bite.    Fish were metered at 20-30 feet but I could not entice any.  Water temp was 62.8 with a LOT of moss (algae?) floating in some areas and filling the fish finder screen.
No other  kayaks on the water. I talked to a couple of PB trout fishermen with similar results as me.  I also spoke with a couple of guys on a bass boat that said they were having an epic day with anything in shad colors working (I tried a shad color plastic with no luck) .

No fish, but a memorable day. The drive up the canyon at dawn was beautiful with the red bud in bloom and the soft green new leaves on the trees.   I saw lots of deer and some turkeys and quail from the kayak and I saw an eagle swoop down and fly away with a snake that was at least 6 feet long.  He had a hard time flying with it but wouldn't let it go.
"Pedo Viejo" is what Antonio called me.
